Que cirujia te hicieron un sleeve? Depende la.cirujia que te hayan hecho es lo q puedes ir incorporando. Se supone que puedas comer yogurt, caldos, mucha agua, nada con dulces, natilla, gelatina y cositas q sean faciles de tragar a los 15 dias puedes empezar con puree mas fuertes como de papa y de algun tipo de verduras o sopas pasadas x batidora. El dolor los primeros dias es bien fuerte. Pero yo tu buscaria un dr aca en usa para q te cheque pq no es normal. Y x supuesto tus vitaminas al dia los parches d aqui son buenos cuando no soportas nada en el estomago. No comas nada picante ni salsas q pueden irritarte mucho y no ayudarte en tu recuperacion

There are many resources on line with post-op diet plans you can use for the short term. It's not ideal, but it sounds like you were cut loose without any real support, and if I read your post right, your surgeon doesn't have you eating anything with significant Protein. You have got to ramp up your Protein in order to heal.

It will be very important for you to find a doctor to follow up here stateside, ASAP. A bariatric specialist would be ideal, but many are leery of doing followup on another surgeon's work. The 2nd best option would be a gastroenterologist. If nothing else, find a primary doctor who knows something about bariatric patients.

Here's a link to one of many bariatric diet phases that you can use UNTIL you get a local doctor.

However, since you are having complications, you are going to need to move very slowly and carefully through the phases. I would start with finding a protein shake you like and add that in, because you have to have protein to heal. The link I gave says 72g, which is a good start, but if you can push that up closer to 100g/day so much the better. Once you can tolerate the shakes well, another good first food is greek yogurt (blended, no chunks of fruit).

You also need to be getting LOTS of fluids in - Water, broth, gatorade, popsicles, sugar-free Jello, etc. Anything that is liquid at room temperature and you can generally see through it counts. Recommended amounts vary, but a generally good rule is a goal of 64oz/day, increasing it as you can to 100+/day.

Then add foods ONE AT A TIME, starting with things that are liquid, and VERY SLOWLY working toward pureed foods. Add a new food for a couple of days and make sure it's sitting well with you before you add the next.

I hate that you had no education and no good followup. Right now you need to focus on three things: get a local doctor, get your protein in, and get your fluids in.

Can I mix my protein with milk? I really appreciate you comment. Can I just but it from Wal-Mart? Isopure I read it's the recommended one right? Thank you so much

I can't stop reading you comment and taking notes, I am starting to get a picture, I had 2 weeks since sleeved and no protein but the broth. I am running to Wal-Mart now to get the protein, the lock of it should be the culprit of my slow healing, thank you so much,

Yes, you can mix it with milk, I use 1% . The milk adds 8grams of Protein.< /p>

Wal-Mart also stocks Premier Protein ready made so you don't have to mix it. Not everyone likes it, but it's the only Protein Drink I can stand right now, and its handy to not have to mix. 30 g in a serving.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
